6.2.4. Creating Splits

By splitting the keyboard in two you can play a sound on the lower part of the keyboard that
is different from the sound you play on the upper part of the keyboard. Splits are a handy
feature is you want to solo with your right hand over an accompaniment you play with the
left.
To create a split hold a first Track button and press another Track button. While holding the
two buttons you can press a key to define the split point (lowest note of the upper part). The
first Track button that gets pressed becomes the upper part. The LEDs over the keyboard will
tell you with is which by displaying the colour of the tracks that make up the split.
The default split point is the 2nd C of the keyboard. The upper part has all MIDI notes above
the split point, included. When there is an active spilt, you can still hold the two track buttons,
to set another split point.
To deactivate the split press the two track buttons simultaneously. On release, the split will
be deactivated.
While the split is active you can still switch focus between the two tracks by pressing one
of the two track buttons. Transpose, Octave, Bend, SHIFT + key, steps and the changes you
make with the encoders apply to the track in focus.
The track that is in focus blinks and the steps buttons will light up the colour of the track in
focus. The state of the OVERDUB and HOLD buttons are maintained.
The keyboard in Seq mode is always used for playing or transposing. You can select
another track, which will temporarily exit split mode but the split is still "memorized" in the
background, though not displayed while none of the two split tracks is selected.
Note:Transpore ignores the split point. Holding TRANS and pressing a key transposes the
track that is in focus.
